V6 tdi Sluggish

[pearcey555]

Guys,

Have a V6 TDi convertible with an auto box and can't help but think it is sluggish (even in sports or using the multitronic box). I know it's a heavy old lump but when accelerating hard the power seems strangled is the best way i can put it. I think I read somewhere that this is a symptom of the auto box Audi use but wanted to check if anyone has ideas. I had toyed with getting it remapped but dont know whether anyone else done this and what their thoughts were.

Any suggestions/ideas would be muchly appreciated.

Which engine code?

Hi Crasher - where would I find the engine code (hope this is not too dumb, a question)

In the handbook or in the spare wheel well, it's a 3 digit code starting with A, e.g. ATJ.

Nearly all A4 type 8H Cabrio V6 TDI engines start with a B, e.g. BDG, BFC or BCZ, except the ASB

Consider yourself admonished…

Thanks guys.... just had a look and it's a BDG

That is a 163PS engine so should not feel sluggish, in fact they are very sprightly. I suggest a fault code read of the engine and box computers first.

OK thanks.... still under dealer warrently so will take it along and see what they say. Have been told they might try to fob me off but we'll see.
